I am considering purchasing one of these kits for tcs up here in Canada. I just sold all my rc stuff and want to get back in, the class seems really affordable to be competitive as it requires spec batteries, silver can motor, and only one body is available. Also, upgrades are pretty limit since its a new chassis.

Anyone have any input on the new chassis? Anyone race it in TCS so far?
